I just nipped in on the off-chance. They had displays of all of my favourite perfumes in sets still marked at full price. I had to ask but, I got an Armani Code set from £39 to £19!! Im so chuffed. I went back ten minutes later and paid the same for the Armani Aqua Gio. I havent got either of them. Im so happy.

So, its open til 6pm, what are you waiting for? Smile They had loads of others and, like I said, they arent even marked down in the shop yet, just at the til.

Was yours marked down in the shop? None of the sets in mine were.

What a bargain when they are selling the perfumes on their own right next to them, full price Smile

I wish I had some birthdays coming up as they are great presents.

Mine wasnt marked down but it was on a shelf with loads of other stuff that was labelled reduced, so I took it to the checkout to double check, the salesgirl said they hadnt stickered everything up properly.

Tomorrow is normal opening hours, yes?

9am for an Armani mission then.

I nearly asked for it for a present and am now glad I didn't.

Ooh interesting, I will go and have a look tomorrow. Just 5 min ago I looked online and saw all their good sale stuff in perfume and "premium beauty" was already marked sold out, but I wonder if they will still have some bargains in town. I wondered if the sale was online only!

I think they probably still have them in the shops if you are lucky. I saw loads of S and G stuff in there yesterday as well and it was saying it was sold out online.

Mine was sold out online but had plenty in store. 25ml bottle by itself £31. 25ml bottle giftset with cream as well £20.66. Plus got my points on it. Been waiting till sales to buy it as run out. Very happy.

Prices weren't up in the store I went into either. Also I bought some no7 nailvarnish and only found out it was 3 for 2 when it came up on till (bit annoyed as I would have grabbed more but no time left then). Hmm

Yes, I got DH an Armai Sport Code set yesterday for £23. The 50ml EDT on its own is normally £47!! Insane, but a great buy.

I got a Nina Ricci gift set reduced by half price too. None of the sets were marked with prices either, I had to go to the till to check the price. Complete bargains!

I'm going back to Boots tomorrow, hoping there still might be some left due to them not having prices :)

well, its strange that they are not displaying the prices!! Im tempted to go back, also. I wish I had some birthdays coming up. How long do you think they would keep for? would they do for Summer birthdays?

Boots always half price the gift sets in their sale after Christmas. I make an annual journey to boots sale to buy loads of their Christmas goodies half price and some perfume.
If there is anything left at the end of the month they reduce further too.

Oh,do you mean the end of December or, January?

OP posts:
Ineedacleaneriamalazyslattern · 29/12/2011 18:31

Sorry meant january. Not quite the end but usually the 3rd week because most of these sets are only sold by them at Christmas so they want rid of them all.

Kelly281 · 30/12/2011 01:02

Went back today and they have now priced them but there are loads! They were all over at the back of the shop, instead of with all the half price gift sets - so I don't think many people were noticing them.

I got a Gucci Flora gift set for £23, which I thought was a bargain. My DP got Issey Miyake something Homme for £26 & Marc Jabobs Bang Bang for £20!

I was so tempted to buy more that I fancied but wasn't sure how long the smell would last unopened Hmm

TIDDLYMUM · 30/12/2011 01:20

Got armani code eternity and then popped over to Johm Lewis got Ck Beauty and Prada Ambree. All half price :)

What is the shelf life?

OP posts:
Ineedacleaneriamalazyslattern · 30/12/2011 08:35

Perfume will keep for a few years unopened and probably a year or so opened. You can help it keep by keeping it cool and dark don't keep perfume in a bathroom. I'm off into town tomorrow to treat myself too I think I need cheering up.
